Remedies for burning stomach

Dr. Skunky, Thanks for your advice.:clap_1:

That's why these threads or these questions that a poster has can be helpful to others in the long run albeit negative to some. I've never had heartburn but I know it can be horribly painful and sometimes difficult to manage and can mask other ailments.

I have the same problem. It's GERD. You need an EGD to check for a hiatal hernia and polyps. You could have stomach or esophageal cancer. Until then just Google and look for a GERD diet. No chocolate, alcohol, mints/gum, caffeinated beverages, oils/fatty foods, carbonated drinks, citrus fruits, spicy food, or tomatoes. Sleep on a wedge pillow, preferably on your left side. Don't lie down for at least two hours after a meal. Basically you can't eat at a Mexican or Italian restaurant any more if you want to live.

Your doc will probably prescribe Protonix, Nexium, or something like that.

It's not very fun. I'm not gonna lie -- I break the rules a lot because I'm a foodie.

Oh, and the Versed they give you when you have the EGD is the world's best drug, IMO. One of my best friends and neighbors is an anesthesiologist. She laughed when I asked her if she could give me a dose of Versed every Friday and Saturday night -- no calories and it doesn't give you the munchies. It just makes you love everyone and feel happy. She says they've had a lot of success with that drug.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That is how I feel right now. My stomach feels yucky and I couldn't even eat dinner. I did chew two maalox.

Never mind...I just read Johnrudy's sig line.

I'm sneezing like crazy and my eyes and nose are itching so bad that I want to rip them from my face. :roll: I look like Bozo the clown with the red nose. Better go find the Vick's Vaporub!!:clap_1:

Let's rename this thread the "SoWal Medical Clinic".

we did once have a whining thread where we listed our ailments, problems, etc. I think we need to whine and provide a comprehensive list of our mental and/or physical problems. where else can you do this??? who wants to start?

Donna: I just love this: You can't ride two horses with one ass, ladies!

Skunky-baby - you are so wonderful I could pinch your cheeks!

LadyD - hope you get some relief real soon!!! I don't like hearing that your doctor spent so little time with you. go to another doctor if you don't get relief. thanks for asking your sowal friends for advice - very few of us are medical experts, but we can compare experiences, and we really do care.

I've got Zicam and loads of drugs. And tea. And Vick's. And peppermint ice cream.

how 'bout a nap? do you got one of these? remember donna's wise words: You can't ride two horses with one ass, ladies! get some dadgum rest.

What kind of Zicam do you use? We have the nasal gel and it is the most irritating stuff in the world but I think it works. I was just wondering if the quick dissolve strip thingies worked as well. I'm afraid to try...they aren't cheap!

OK, then take 2 or 3 glasses of wine and call me in the morning!

I tried these last year, and yes, they did work pretty well, but never for very long it seems... but I think my sinus infection just needed something much stronger like heavy duty prescription drugs... which I finally got...

Wow what a thread. I have not read any of it until, tonight, I woke up with major heartburn. This thread gave me laughs as well as advice. Thanks everyone. :clap_1: :clap_1: An ache and pain thread would be nice:!: ;-) I have learned that yo mama dont know everything and the Dr. is not always possible....
LadyD, hope all is better
JDarg, get better SOON!!!

Hey Toots, et. al....remember that SoNotWell on SoWal thread???

My tummy feels mostly better this morning.

I have learned that Pepto has aspirin in it from Dr. Skunky. :clap_1: I remember now, that my Dr. told me to stay away from it.

I have read something not so good about that nasal ZiCam stuff, but can't remember what it was.

Feel better my little pals. And...complain away!!!

I bought GTTBD the quick dissolve tablets. The worked pretty well.

Well I am up after a night on the couch I dont feel good. Maybe it has something to do with rum drinks???

I tried on that 12 hr. lip puffing lipstick 48 hrs ago. It's still glued to my lips. I tried cold cream, and every type of facial cleanser possible even soap, which tasted nasty.

Should I try nail polish remover?

:funn: Only you Mango. Did you use your full and pouty lips to full advantage?

Gotta run out, so no time for a lip soaking.
For now I will either wear a scarf or put bandaids on my lips.

Then I will stop at CVS and pick up some hemmorhoid cream and see if that gets the lipstick off and help with swelling.

No, I did not venture in RO's thread about the balls and the face.
